Things to know

For many years, meat production and livestock trade in the region have faced structural challenges, including:

  1. 1Fragmented and informal market practices
  2. 2Limited regulation and oversight
  3. 3Inconsistent hygiene and safety standards

Megal was developed to organize the sector under one centralized system that prioritizes public health and supply reliability.
